DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) 

DHCP is software that automatically assigns IP addresses to client stations logging onto a 

TCP/IP network. DHCP eliminates having to manually assign permanent IP addresses to 

every device on your network. DHCP software typically runs in servers and is also found in 

network devices such as Routers. 

 

DMT 

Discrete Multi-Tone frequency signal modulation 

 

Downstream rate 

The line rate for return messages or data transfers from the network machine to the user's 

premises machine. 

 

DSLAM 

Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplex 

 

Dynamic IP Addresses 

A dynamic IP address is an IP address that is automatically assigned to a client station 

(computer, printer, etc.) in a TCP/IP network. Dynamic IP addresses are typically assigned 

by a DHCP server, which can be a computer on the network or another piece of hardware, 

such as the Router. A dynamic IP address  

may change every time your computer connects to the network. 

Encapsulation 

The technique layer protocols in which a layer adds header information to the protocol data 

unit (PDU) from the layer above. As an example, in Internet terminology, a packet would 

contain a header from the physical layer, followed by a header from the network layer (IP), 

followed by a header from the transport  

layer (TCP), and followed by the application protocol data. 

 

Ethernet 

One of the most common local area network (LAN) wiring schemes, Ethernet has a 

transmission rate of 10 Mbps. 

 

FTP 

File Transfer Protocol. The Internet protocol (and program) transfer files between hosts.
